FAQ’s during Lockdown

Q:       I am enrolled for April 2020 exam. What is going to happen to my studies? When am I going to write?

A:       There are going to be only 2 semesters in 2020. You will automatically be enrolled by DHET for the 1^st exam in 2020. Which we think is going to be written in May 2020.

Those enrolled for the August exam as well as those that enrolled for the November exam will write the 2^nd exam in 2020. We expect it will be in October/November 2020.

Q:          I enrolled for April 2020, will my test mark still be valid for 3 exams?

A:          No, your mark is valid for 1 year. Only 2 exams in 2020. (remember you must pay R700 and send us your new enrolment form together with proof of payment for us to know that you want to write the consecutive exam)

Q:          I just want to find out what is going to happen with the rest of Trimester 1 because on the website I see we can start enrolling for Trimester 2, but we haven’t completed Trimester 1

I understand the examinations have been postponed but what will be the consequences for the rest of the course? Should I start enrolling for the second Trimester or wait for further notice.

A:          This is totally up to you. You may enrol but whichever courses you enrol now will only be written the 2^nd exam(October/November 2020). You will have the advantage of a longer study period.

We are offering you the opportunity to enrol for the second exam because people want to use their time in a positive way, and this is the perfect time to study.
